Xu Qing wanted to go back the next day, but Fang Xing asked him to wait. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After seeing Fang Xing's energy, Xu Qing hated to go back immediately to expand the scale and let the canned food enter thousands of households.

"Brother Dehua, this thing is very useful in the army, but we have to see the thoughts of the emperor's grandfather."

Zhu Zhanji ate canned food for a day and finally made an evaluation of this convenience food.

Fang Xing said firmly: "There is often fraud in the purchase of the army, and if it is opened, the best meat in the army is only jerky, how can it be compared with canned food!"

"Not only in the army, but also those who often go out, if they carry some canned food out, they don't need to worry about meat."

Zhu Zhanji reminisced about the taste and agreed: "The key is that others don't have this taste!"

Fang Xing thought of instant noodles insidiously, can instant noodles have the nutrition that they have carefully made at home?

Of course not, instant noodles are just very flavorful, which is why they are widely popular.

There is not much problem on Zhu Di's side, especially after Zhu Zhanji asked someone to calculate the cost of canned food, he even felt that Fang Xing was damaging his private fat father.

"Dehua is really dedicated to the country."

Xia Yuanji came to find Fang Xing, as a money bag, of course he knew about it.

Fang Xing said with a righteous face: "Lord Xia, Daming is short of money everywhere, Fang, as a relative who is retired with the country, how can he do something for this!" ”

Xia Yuanji had calculated Fang Xing's offer before he came, and when he heard this, he stroked his beard and smiled: "If the relatives are like you, it's just ...... Ay! ”

Fang Xing observed his words and looks, and when he saw Xia Yuanji's embarrassed face, he guessed: "Lord Xia is for those ...... Is it difficult to make a screen of the country? ”

Xia Yuanji was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly denied it: "There is no thing, there is no thing." ”

The so-called national screen domain is talking about those vassal kings.

The old Zhu family is quite capable except for the royal family, and Xia Yuanji, as the first person to manage money in the Ming Dynasty, has certainly seen the disadvantages of the future.

If those vassal kings continued to be born like this, Xia Yuanji was sure that sooner or later, Daming's finances would be dragged down.

But who would dare to ask this question?

Xia Yuanji didn't dare, and Fang Xing didn't dare at the moment.

Who dares to propose to cut off the territory and Yulu of the vassal king, it is estimated that even Zhu Di can't withstand the pressure from all sides.

At this moment, Xia Yuanji and Fang Xing both thought of Tui Enling.

Fang Xing saw that there was no one outside the door, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Xia, what is the basis for the success of the Qianhan's Tui En Order?" ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Xia Yuanji's eyes, and he was a little happy to find his comrades.

He said slowly: "The former Han Dynasty was carrying the power of quelling the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and the Tui En Order was just a means of easing. ”

Fang Xing nodded in agreement: "At this time, my Daming is just taking back the forces of the vassal kings, and strictly ordering him not to leave the fiefdom, as long as the vassal king has no objection, let him toss in the fief." Lord Xia, there are endless children and grandchildren! ”

Thinking of the countless descendants of the Zhu family who needed to be supported by the Ming Dynasty's finances in the future, Xia Yuanji's back was cold, and he had to smile bitterly: "When the official kicks his feet, he can't control anything." ”

"Dehua, you have a contract with your grandson, take precautions early, and the official is waiting for your good news."

Xia Yuanji didn't dare to say anything more about this topic, so he slipped away quickly.

Cunning old fellow!

Fang Xing also smiled helplessly, the current scale of the vassal king is not enough to deal a heavy blow to the finances of the Ming Dynasty, so mentioning this stubble at this time is looking for death.

"No matter, let's take care of my own small family first."

Fang Xing called Xu Qing to discuss whether he could produce canned food on a large scale, and then went all the way north from Taizhou Mansion.

Xu Qing obviously investigated the route, and said confidently: "Uncle, the waterway transportation volume is large and the consumption is small, as long as the government can agree, it is a trivial matter." ”

Because Taizhou can only take the sea route first, and then turn to the canal to the north, it can almost run through the entire north and south of the Ming Dynasty.

Such a model is good, and unloading all the way can save a lot of distribution costs.

But at present, the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty want to go to sea, which is really difficult.

Fang Xing thought about it and went to find Zhu Zhanji.

As soon as Zhu Zhanji heard about the sea transportation, he was embarrassed and said: "Brother Dehua, the canal is about to be completed in its entirety, and some people are already mentioning the abolition of sea and land transportation, and the use of water transportation instead." ”

The north of the Ming Dynasty hoarded a large number of troops, and the capital would have to be moved in the future, so many materials could not be self-sufficient, which needed to be transported from the south.

At present, there are two ways of this transfusion type of transportation: land transportation and sea transportation.

It is expensive to eat and chew on land, while sea is risky, and once there is a storm and waves, half of the entire fleet can be left.

After Zhu Di's death, the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban policy became stricter and stricter, and in the end, he simply burned the drawings of the treasure ship.

It was not terrible to burn the drawings of the treasure ship, but it was terrible to burn the navigation materials and the Annam atlas, and this move was unanimously praised by the civilian system at that time.

Of course, some people later said that Liu Daxia did not burn these materials, but only hid them when the emperor wanted to obtain them and discuss whether he could reproduce the grand occasion of Zheng He's voyage to the West again.

"Sea freight has a natural advantage."

Fang Xing had to put on a didactic posture again and said: "Take the canal, regardless of the size of the boat, let's talk about how many people I have to support to keep the canal open." ”

The canal has to be dredged every year, and these costs and manpower are planned by the local governments along the coast, and the cost is calculated to be a lot more than that of sea transportation.

Moreover, the canal also has the function of collecting taxes, setting up cards in various places to collect taxes and fees from passing ships.

"Although sea freight is risky, it cannot be completely abandoned."

The excavation and dredging of the canal was too costly, and if it was abandoned, Fang Xing felt that he would be drowned by the saliva of those with vested interests, so he had to make a roundabout suggestion.

"In the trade wind season, we can take the canal, but in the season when there are few winds and waves, why do we have to go through all kinds of trouble?"

Zhu Zhanji said curtly: "Brother Dehua, the imperial grandfather is going to set up four warehouses in Huai'an and other places, and they will be directly transferred by the military when the time comes. ”

"It's all military transport?"

Fang Xing felt that this matter was unreliable, unless it was to expand the scale of Cao Ding, it would be impossible.

Zhu Zhanji also recently listened to the matter of Cao Yun, so he said confidently: "If the people transport it, they can be exempted from the tax grain of the year." ”

"What if you don't send it?"

"Then pay the taxes as usual."

Fang Xing sighed in his heart, this is a multiple-choice question for farmers to choose one or the other!

Once a farmer participates in the grain transportation, the crops of that year are wasted, so they are exempt from taxes.

But even if it's tax-free, what do those farmers eat?

"Can't shipping really be restored?"

Fang Xing asked with the last hope, he hoped that Da Ming would not stay away from the ocean, even if it was risky, but didn't Zheng He's fleet float overseas all year round?

Zhu Zhanji knew that Fang Xing had always valued the interests of the ocean, but Zhu Di acted, and once it was decided, no one could shake his will.

Seeing Zhu Zhanji's embarrassed look, Fang Xing resisted the urge to pound the table, and said with a blue face: "The canal is very important as a north-south passage, but it is important to abolish maritime transportation for it, I think this is a short-sighted decision!" ”

As soon as Zhu Di went, during the period from the Ming Dynasty to Longqing, the intensity of the forbidden sea became stronger and stronger. From the short era of Zhu Gaochi to the policies after Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne is the beginning of all this.
